Maybe we should start a thread in the apps forum? Anyway.

I believe the Voodoo Color stuff we have is baked in already, and we don't get the full-spectrum control the Voodoo-for-Nexus S/CM7 folks get. But he implemented that because 2.3.3 apparently screwed up the AMOLED color balance... When the drivers enable it for us, the app will (I think) auto-detect it and pop up the options.

As for sound, the idea is to minimize both digital sound quality loss and the analog noise floor/amp distortion. So you do the opposite -- leave Media volume (digital) at max and control gain with the Headphone Amp function (analog). If you have sensitive IEMs, you'll probably want to keep the analog volume at -30 to -20, but for hard-to-drive cans or line-level out to a stereo you can actually crank the analog pretty strongly. (Supercurio suggests +2 to +4 for line level.)

You can find the shortcut by adding a shortcut to the homescreen somewhere. ;) Then scroll down the "Select shortcut" list -- "Headphone Amp" should be just above "Latitude" somewhere. You can also use the hacky Volume-button-override function in the app, but that never worked well for me. I instead implemented a Tasker profile to plop a shortcut to Headphone Amp into the notification bar while I have headphones in.
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Ok starting to get somewhere, thanks. So. I use Power Amp. So there's the headphone amp gain in Voodoo Control app, there's "media volume" which is both global media volume for phone and also is tied to Power Amp main volume. And then there is the "preamp" setting within Power Amp as well.

I have been told with all of these set well this phone with power amp can provide really good sound. But not sure what to do.

If this is outside of the scope of this thread feel free to move it but I figure people might want to know how to use the features.
[Fascinate Android Development] StDevious:
I was using EQ, Bass and Treble preset in Poweramp, but I found that it turned down some sounds. Also not sure if PA EQ uses audio chip or performs effects using the CPU, using more battery than required.

Then I tried EQ off, Tone On, not sure what it does, but sounded good on some music, bad on others. So I turned it off too.

Then I downloaded galaxy tuner app. Went to sound turned on 3D sound (Gain 7), and use HW EQ, settings on freqs are (6, 2, 0, 2, 5)dB. It added bass and treble and a little wider sound due to 3d effect to the music.
[Fascinate Android Development] doctorj1:
loving the kernel

only problem i'm having is that my phone will no longer recognize my computer, when i plug it in to the usb it just charges but it won't let me connect to transfer files, any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
I just enabled the analog volume key hack and it seems to have done what you are saying all at once.

Also since flashing this kernel my browser no longer wants to play youtube videos. I have to tell it to open them with the youtube app. It used to automatically open the app.
[Fascinate Android Development] s13_slider:
I ran into the issue a while ago. Is usb debugging checked? Settings> Applications> Development

I checked that and it fixed the problem for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] doctorj1:
ahhhh damnit, knew it had to be something simple, not sure why that got unchecked but it must've happened somewhere in all my flashing

thanks bud
[Fascinate Android Development] s13_slider:
I noticed that happen, too. You're welcome!
[Fascinate Android Development] doctorj1:
BTW, as far as battery life is concerned, if anyone is wondering

unplugged at 5am, was at about 70% at 7pm

so about 14hrs of light to moderate use, some texts, few shorts calls, emails, words with friends

3G and bluetooth on the whole time, wifi on for a bit, no GPS

oh yeah running SC 2.9.2
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
That's because they are actually supposed to be black.

The great thing about AMOLED screens is their ability to display true black (along with rich colors). For whatever reason, Samsung decided to turn their phone that is capable of beautifully rich colors and shadows, into a washed out friggin monster.

If you have a properly calibrated monitor, pull up the same picture on your computer and your phone. On stock settings, you'll immediately notice that your phone looks much worse. Voodoo color is the first step towards actually regaining some of the lost functionality of the potential beauty of our displays. If I remember right, cyanogenmod also has done a lot of work in that department too (but I could be wrong).

I don't know how the themers put up with it. I once tried to make a swype theme, but I pretty much had to do it blind because what looked black on the computer, was gray on the phone.

[Fascinate Android Development] Zirabius:
dumb question but you apply this with the cwm apply sd zip right?

if so why am I getting an error?
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Yes. And u don't have to wipe dalvik cache.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Have tried this several times after full wipe.

Still getting freezes, guess I'll be sticking

to the SC kernels.
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Just fyi to all, there are no Voodoo color settings to mess with. If you flash a kernel with Voodoo color, it's already turned on.

As for sound, I can tell you that with Voodoo sound, you practically don't even need PowerAMP's EQ, but it all depends on how good the speakers are that you're using. With Voodoo sound on, and my phone plugged into my factory premium audio system in my Jeep, even barely messing with the EQ in PowerAMP, my ears just about melted. My EQ levels are barely above normal baseline, and I even had to turn down the bass and treble settings on my car stereo, which I normally had up pretty high, to keep those levels from becoming too saturated. I have never been able to get sound this good from my iPod or other phones, or even the CD player in the factory head unit (which actually isn't that surprising). The audio from this phone with the sound fix is just that good. Now I'm not even considering an aftermarket head unit for my Jeep anymore.

Shame on Samsung for crippling the awesome hardware this phone has, and major kudos to the devs that continue to right the wrongs and maximize our phones' potential.

Still having battery issues with sc 2.9.2 and this kernel. I am just trying to verify i actually do have the right kernel installed. I.flashed it with the red cw under my about info it lists my kernel as 2.6.32.9. Is that any verification that this kernel flashed? I also want to say thanks for all the devs hard work.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
CM implements standard LCD-style calibration, which if supercurio is correct doesn't work *at all* for Super AMOLED.
[Fascinate Android Development] breaker911:
Has anything been figured out about the no sound with video recording?
[Fascinate Android Development] Jpac175:
yeah, download the "voodoo control" app form the market then go into recording preset and change it back to original... its only a quick fix until there is a true fix this works good for now

It's only been answered about 3 times
[Fascinate Android Development] iviustang50h:
I cannot find a consistent answer to this, so I'll ask again: Does brightness need to be turned up to 100% to reap the benefits of voodoo color?
[Fascinate Android Development] Not_So_There:
The interactive governor worked great for me the first half of the day, but after my battery got below 50% I started experiencing the lockups.
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
My Phone has been on the charger for about 10 hours now, and is not completely charged?
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Not sure if this is related, but two days in a row now, AlarmDroid hasn't even tried to ring for me (it'll keep saying the next alarm is today at time X, even till after time X... it'll update once I actually open it). Those two times were both since I upgraded to this one, from EC10 (which also wouldn't ring reliably if not on a charger...).
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Wait does this have the dummy tether module in it
[Fascinate Android Development] notta:
Many thanks for this JT!

Also thanks for always sharing your source.. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
To see the true benefits of accurate color representation, 100% brightness is your best bet (this is like burning lasers into your eyeholes), but I'm pretty sure the color tweaks are applied, regardless of your brightness settings.

However, there should be other improvements to the display that will work on any brightness settings (see here: http://project-voodoo.org/color ). I have no idea if these are working yet or not, but I think they should be.

If you want to manually adjust the color (doesn't matter which brightness level), you can download an app called Galaxy tuner.

If you'd like to read through the comments and see exactly what's been applied, you can find them here:

[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
hey there gizmo, i did a little research before i updated my how to voodoo thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979744

and everything i have seen indicates that only 100% brightness is tuned:

http://project-voodoo.org/color

im ok with being wrong, i just dont want to put incorrect info in my thread or strear folks in the wrong direction. so is my info incorrect or out of date?
[Fascinate Android Development] GizmoDroid:
Looking through the source code, I think that some of the settings get applied during videos regardless of brightness, but I could be wrong. I think the color curve only gets applied system wide when brightness is at 100%, at this time. I do know for sure that you can manually adjust the system-wide color using Galaxy tuner, regardless of the brightness.

I really don't know much about it beyond that. But it's true that 100% brightness is required to get full Voodoo Color support.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
galaxy s tuner, i will check that out. can that be used with out voodoo, if so will you get the same results?
[Fascinate Android Development] iviustang50h:
Thank you gents!
[Fascinate Android Development] exzacklyright:
Well I get at most 4 hours :/
[Fascinate Android Development] Disneycast25:
Have you fully charged your phone and then wiped your batt stats?
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
for anyone wondering about the voodoo color options.

1. Open video player

2. Select a video

3. when the movie starts, press the menu key

4.go to settings ---> Colour tone

* Normal setting, used by default provide some sharpening and a super light color vibrance & saturation boost. It’s adequate for most videos and make everything look nice.

* Warm setting becomes a boost mode: Color vibrance & saturation level is increased to produce the “WOW” effect everyone love. Sharpness is more aggressive too and will make soft videos more enjoyable

* Cold setting becomes a soft mode: Colors are untouched and sharpness filter is disabled too, this preset is very useful for noisy videos.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Well, I got an answer in the sound thread...

Does one of the kernel folks want to translate this post into an actual fix?

or fml....whichever

I'll nuke the offending hook and update git when I haz the time to do so
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
I was wondering if this kernel had the dummy tether module in it so I can use my fascinate to tether to my nook color
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
im gonna steal this for my how to voodoo thread. i will verify everything and make sure you get the cred. thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
i could be wrong, but i dont think it does. im to poor to try and to dumb to look.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
I thought previous kernels had "dummy tether" simply because we didn't have source?

At this point, can't we rip out the tether stuff from both kernel and ROM?
[Fascinate Android Development] djp952:
I don't think that the USCC Mesmerize kernel ever had the wireless tether monitoring in it and it was a VZW "bonus" feature. Could be dead wrong, though :D
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
I am thinking that the only one that can confirm our deny the tether is jt no offence
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Incredible battery life so far. Wiped stats at 100% Going on about 15 hours moderate use(text, music, words, and normal app use) and I'm at 67% . One of the best kernels to date! You rule JT, thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] lane32x:
What ROM are you rocking along with this kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
Anyone noticing their battery taking forever to charge? Is this ROM or Kernel related? Or could it be because I have it hooked up via USB?

Thanks a bunch!
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
if you try to charge it while connected to a computer via usb it could take hours easily because ur computer won't output nearly as much power as your wall charger would
[Fascinate Android Development] jbjarko:
Thanks. Honestly, never paid much attention prior to switching to 2.9.2 and this kernel last night. Figured I was just out of it. I do appreciate it.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
IIRC, quite a number of pages back he said it doesn't have the monitoring stuff in it.
[Fascinate Android Development] BlackHoleSlam:
Kitsune i am sorry but that confuses me so i am unable to tether with this kernel then
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Could restoring apps from titanium be the reason

the this kernel freezes every time for me??
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
you can tether, you MAY get charged by vzw.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
it very well could. try this:

data, dalvick, and cache wipe

reflash kernel

reboot

download apps from the market

restore data only with tb

[Fascinate Android Development] Legato525:
I came in post friyo. What exactly does bln do?
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Nice, BLN for us Frogurt users :p I think I'll wait until this home button thing gets sorted out (or just flash it tomorrow... one of the two). That was definitely faster than I expected!

@Legato525: BLN is BackLight Notification... basically, other Android phones have a little LED light that can be used to let you know when you've got some sort of notification (like email or text or what have you), without turning on the screen. The Fascinate doesn't have a dedicated LED for that, but BLN lets you use the backlight on the soft buttons (the menu, home/back, back, and search buttons :p) to fill that role. I really like it since it lets me, at a glance, see if I have a pending text message (which I often miss hearing it arrive).
[Fascinate Android Development] ataranine:
Hahahah Frogurt. xD What Google should have called it to begin with.

Doesn't seem like a huge issue for me. I spend most of my time smashing the back button instead of home anyways. xD
[Fascinate Android Development] tmlhodge:
The home button thing is really not a big deal, I'm sure he will take care of it. I didn't notice either till I read it here.

My home button works fine. Flashed the kernal straight over unthemed SuperClean 2.9.2 with no wipes. Could it just be an issue for themed roms. Wonder if reflashing the theme would fix?
[Fascinate Android Development] kidserious:
Same here, home button is now back button but I will take this trade-off anyday. This is my first custom kernel so what's the deal with sound and color? Sharper sound and more vivid color or what?

All right thanks, I'll try that!

Oh, when would flashing SC come in to this process?
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
lol. thats for darkrevenge 4 rom. if you are just flashing this kernel its not needed.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Wait... your saying, If I wipe everything and flash the EC10

kernel, I don't need to flash SC2.9.2???

After doing that, it was stuck in boot with the force close vibrate.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
ok, start from the begining.

rom?

kernel?

what is your phone doning right now?

what have you done?

[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Okay, I decided to try out Darkrevenge4 with this EC10, and hopefully get better luck. So I'm Starting fresh over again. Just to be clear:

Wipe Everything... then..

I don't want to do it incorrectly, so what from there?
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
Is your phone working now. What rom. I need to know this to give yoh the next step.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Oh, no I'm about to completely wipe again.(awaiting instructions since I guess I don't know what I'm doign)

I want to use

the Darkrevenge 4 rom and the EC10 kernel.

I know what u want to do. Dont wipe yet. What rom r you using right now.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:

Alright. Don't wipe. Flash dr4 then this kernel in that order. Don't wipe.

All right I'll do that exactly.

With reboots in between flashing DR4 and this kernel, or no?
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:

[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
No reboots.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:

Anyway, I won't know if

this fixed the freezes for a little while, but how should I go about restoring

all my apps with TiB?
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Can you use setcpu on this kernel or does it not matter? I'm not gonna overclock it. Just my wife's battery is so bad and would like to make it last. Thx
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
You can try a batch. Deselect everythig u don't absolutely need. I usually install apps from the market and then restore just the app data.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
You can use it. Battery will suck until we get roms built from source.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Right right, just that would be alot of app searching to re download.

Lol. Also, is the Android keyboard on Dr4 supposed to not work, because it does not.
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Would it even help setting the sleep under 400 just to save a little juice? On demand?
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
It will help some. It will just be hit and miss as you flash different things. There are known sleep jssues with the current builds. Now that our devs have source they can clean up sammys crap.
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Cool! Thx for the quick reply. One more thing. On sleep would I put it ondemand or conservative? This is my first time ever in Android to mess with set CPU.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
No problem. Start with concervitive.
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Tried that but. After the phone sleeps I can't turn it back on unless I pull the battery out. Hmmm
[Fascinate Android Development] gunnermike:
Oh, sleep of death. Do a search for sleep of death. That is another issue. I'm on my phone otherwise I would find it for you.
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Aight ill go look that up. Thx again.
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
Try setting the low-end of your CPU at 200 Mhz, instead of 100. Think of your phone like a car that is idling at a low speed, if that idle is too low, it may not have enough juice to keep the engine running and therefore stall out.

I got the SOD once, after doing this, never got it again.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Can anyone record video with sound?
[Fascinate Android Development] dadsterflip:
Lol that makes alot of sense. Since I work on cars hahaha. Cool. I noticed that it only freezes when.on.conservative. but if.I used.ondemand it works perfect.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Looks like JT/adrynalyne haven't commented in this thread about it (I was thinking of the stock EC10 thread). Doing a cat /proc/modules via adb reveals that one of the loaded modules is hotspot_event_monitoring, although I'm not sure if the dummy module uses the same name. Looking through the commit history of the git repository, none of the messages explicitly mention anything about the hotspot monitor, so really not sure... and I don't particularly feel like pulling the repository right now to try to grep the code for it.
[Fascinate Android Development] pntballer505:
Oh dam, being on 100mhz min can cause screen of death? Because i had cpu tuner

and the min. was on a 100 and I couldn't figure out why I kept getting sod, so hopefully that will fix it! lol
[Fascinate Android Development] dricacho:
Not sure if this has been posted but BLN deactivates itself upon reboot. So if I don't remember to reactivate it, the softkeys will not light up when a notification comes in.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Currently you have to use Voodoo Control App and set the Mic Profile (don't recall the exact name of the option) to 'Original' for sound to work in recorded video, due to a bug in the current released versions. It looks like it's already fixed in the git repository, though, so next release shouldn't require that workaround to get audio.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
Pretty sure that's WAI, you need an app to enable it on each boot. Blinky has an option to do that (I atm only use Blinky to enable it on each boot, since making it flash is just a waste of the battery... it'll cause the phone to wake up each time the light needs to be turned on/off!).
